LayoutManager

The interface implemented by all layouts such as GridBagLayout. You don't often use it explicity. You just pass a LayoutManager parameter.

// AWT
this.setLayout( new GridBagLayout() );

// Swing
Container contentPane = this.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout( new GridBaglayout() );
